10] Equity through sustainability? This is my own horizon of curiosity right now. I’m petering out (big tired working mama over here). What’s the over/under on more closely connecting equity to sustainability? Is there any place for equity to take root?

9/ To achieve equitable futures in the face of climate futures, we must deal with the cultural damages of anti-knowledge, mis-information saturation, and corporate/economic war against anything but unbridled growth.

8/ Future equity, “build the world for our children to thrive,” has always been a suasive rhetoric that works on Americans. But I forgot how damaged our shared dialog about futures is. Just look at climate change —

7/ So equity achieved through historical reckoning and identity-based interventions faces these kinds of challenges. … so I brain-stormed grounding equity in futures and/or radical sustainability … as I’ve posted, my optimism deflated.

6/ Reckoning with our harm-laden histories is hard work — and socializing that work among the completely unwilling is even harder.

5/ We (and especially among us, the hopefully soon-to-be former MAGA folk) Americans want other people to be reckoned with (mass incarceration, police-worship) — but we don’t want anyone to reckon with us.

4/ I’m learning as I think and welcome co-learning especially about this next thought —> I’m thinking Americans are better at imagining futures than at reckoning with pasts.

3/ But for good or ill, the absolutely essential value and work of equity can also be rooted in the moral universe of collective futures and/or radical sustainability practices.

2/ Identity-based equity has come under intense unfair fire-storm. Americans refuse to live within the moral universe of their histories. Equity and history need each other to make sense.

Seriously, thank you. This list is excellent. I’m going to show it to my students.

Which book’s thesis seemed far fetched initially? (The one you’re sold on now.) I ask in solidarity—I’m all in. Do you mind sharing?
